So now that you’ve prevented bedbugs from spreading into other rooms, the only risk now is the people potentially carrying them out of the bedroom. So let’s say you wake up in the morning in your pajamas. You don’t know if eggs were potentially laid on your pajamas or you’ve caught some eggs on your way out of the bed, or there’s a bedbug that latched on to your pajamas…? That’s when the risk of bed bugs escaping the bedroom also increases. So what we recommend is that you always keep your pajamas in your bedroom and get dressed in bed bug free clothes before you leave the bedroom. Put all your clothes in a properly sealed bag ready for the laundry machine.
Along the same lines, you don’t want to go lay down in your bed with your regular clothes that you’re using to do chores around the house or you use for work, you really want to make sure you go into bed with only what you wear to go to bed. You don’t want to lay down in the bed in the afternoon with the clothes that you are using to also go watch TV in the living room.
Now the solution we gave you are the basics for preventing bedbugs and traveling from one room to another. You can apply the same concept to all the other rooms in your house. This is not a solution that guarantees complete bed bug extermination, this is why you need to be very meticulous in every step you take along the way. That means keeping your bedroom clean, vacuuming regularly and inspecting the monitors.
Remember that most bedbug cases are mild cases, and for the most part can be dealt with on your own and do not require the help of an exterminator. If you are worried that bedbugs will spread from one room to the next. We also recommend that you use active or passive detectors throughout your house.
Hope this helps and let us know if you have questions.
